Stop generalizing about religions. They aren't the same at all. I'm not saying Zeus is real. Yes, we know they are natural, but we also know that nature is decaying. Nature could not have come from nature. The Bible never claims anything like that the Earth is flat, and to which mysteries are you referring? Are you suggesting that you have discovered how gravity works?
The Bible actually points out many things which are now scientific fallacies, however as Augustine explained even before these fallacies were seen, that Bible may be written very much so symbolically with historic events and whatnot mixed in.
However, religions are different, and overtime, like everything else, it has changed. Science, math, literature; they have all changed as we learn more and discovery new ideas.
Self-defeating arguments for the win.
They are very bothersome, aren't they? Hypocrisy, really. :o
Nice job, you just shat on religion's reputation even more.
He speaks for his own beliefs, friend. Not for all religions. And while many theists have similar ideas, they still aren't him. However, you are partially right. Many arguments for religion are based on ignorance, and often presented with a sense of arrogance. It's a shame when such happens, because then some people generalize - See above.
(Not that you generalize all the time, that was just one occasion. :3)
1. When did a wizard come in? ....
2. No, I haven't heard about the "Big Crunch". Please enlighten me.
3. Who said that supernatural things have to follow natural laws?
1. Some assume God is merely just a wizard, in a "fairytale" Theists call the Bible. :c
2. I believe it is just the opposite of the Big Bang, where as the universe implodes, but I'm unsure.
3. Quite, but mind you, you are arguing under the assumption God exists, while they are not the assumption God does not exist. Neither of you are really presenting arguments for or against God. merely just how you three explain your beliefs. :o
Sorry if I missed something or jumped around, I'm doing three other things at the moment. :P
Religion is stupid.

It's funny because you're a Christian.
